Taller León 1932
Mexican leather tradition · key fobs, money clips, small accessories
León is the historic leather capital of the Americas; this workshop, founded in 1932 by Don Rafael Hernández, has stayed in the family for four generations. They specialise in small accessories — what doesn't need to be made elsewhere. The Pilar Keychain in our catalogue is their work, finished in offcuts of the same hides their grandfather used.
